He has worked with the best: Scorsese, Spielberg, Baz Luhrmann, Ridley Scott, James Cameron, now Leo is adding Christopher Nolan to that list. Variety is reporting that he and Nolan will collaborate on the upcoming Inception. Full Story

YES. Of course. Thom Yorke rarely disappoints. So JailBait Miley Cyrus dropped in for a radio interview the other day. Typical obnoxious 16 yr old she had to make sure everyone knew she was texting Nick Jonas, her ex boyfriend, and that her current boyfriend, that f-cking loser Justin Gaston, would be jealous.

No balls either. Usher earned some respect yesterday when his comments on the Chris Brown/Rihanna situation were released. Specifically addressing the pictures showing Breezy jet skiing and cavorting in Miami a few days ago, Usher criticised:"I'm a little disappointed in this photo. After the other photo [of Rihanna's bruised face posted by TMZ]? C'mon, Chris. Full Story

His hair ladies, his hair… Try to control yourselves, ok? There’s more squealy business to come. This is Robert Pattinson out and about in LA yesterday, running back to his hotel with wet hair, looking pale and … he’s better straight on than in profile, non? The nose, I think. Full Story

Jennifer Aniston… She’s “Fabulous and 40!” Fabulous at 40! Fabulous at 40! For f-ck’s sake we’ve been hearing it for an entire month… Fabulous at 40! And the MiniVan screaming their support, believing their girl is taking them along on the ride, redefining beauty, embracing age, representing THEM. Full Story

Oh they ruined her birthday didn’t they? Justin Timberlake was without his Shelf Ass for a week in New York and was papped only twice, quite a departure from the daily sightings that occur when his girlfriend is with him Jessica Biel arrived in town to celebrate her birthday yesterday.

Everyone’s biggest complaint is the lip-sync. Critics have been moaning and groaning about it all morning. This I don’t understand. I don’t understand who goes into a Britney Spears concert expecting live vocals. It never was and it never will be. Do you head into a Madonna movie thinking there’s an Oscar coming out the other side? Please. Full Story

The Chicken Fried Circus Tour kicks off tonight and the set list, revealed yesterday, looks ambitious, even though she’s never been known for singing live, given the rehearsal footed just posted, it’ll be Britney on super charge for almost 2 hours. If you’re lucky enough to attend, let the rest of us know how it is. I have to wait a month before she comes to Vancouver.

Also attached – Britney is now promoting Candie’s. The photo shoot for the ad campaign took place last Thursday just before she left for Louisiana. Am told she was weird and spacey the entire time, kept mostly to herself when not on set, and at one point was found alone in a dressing room, staring at herself in the mirror muttering “hello” under her breath…

Having said that, those who’ve observed her dancing during tour prep mention that she can be ultra-vocal and assertive, screaming her chicken fried weave off if she misses a step, eager for someone to blame. The medication, right? It’ll be a grueling couple of months. Hopefully they squeeze these millions out of her and give her a break for the rest of the year.

Tuesday – new articles all day. And did you watch Fallon’s debut last night? Pipsqueak got OWNED by Van Morrison. More on that later.

Megan Fox was spotted out and about furniture shopping with not so ex Brian Austin Green today before heading back to his place. So are they or aren’t they? Who the f-ck cares? The point is she’s NOT with John Mayer. Because he didn’t take advantage and move in there. And now Jennifer Aniston is back in LA. Full Story

Yesterday in Ottawa. Am told exclusively that Carrie Underwood accompanied her boyfriend Mike Fisher of the Ottawa Senators to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario for a special visit, very uncover, very sweet. Mike loves the Lord, is actively involved in the community, and unlike many of his skeezy teammates with crabs, yeah crabs, is not a fixture on the club crawl. Full Story
